Diesel against the other Ford Tourneo Connect versions
| Fuel | Pass rate | Tests |
|---|---|---|

| All Ford Tourneo Connect | 82.2% | 14,321 |
Why the fuel type changes the number
Diesels carry DPFs, EGR valves and stricter smoke limits, so emissions and exhaust faults account for failures petrol cars never see.
On the Ford Tourneo Connect specifically, petrol is the strongest at 86.9%, and this diesel version sits 0.1 points below the 82.2% model average.
What it means if you are buying one
There is little to choose between fuel types on this model, so decide on running costs and mileage rather than MOT record. Check the exact car, decode the VIN and check the mileage before you bid.
Mileage is part of the answer
The average diesel Ford Tourneo Connect had covered 57,042 miles at test, against 49,269 for the petrol. That is around average, so condition and service history will tell you more than the odometer does.
Fuel type and mileage are tangled together: diesels are usually bought by higher-mileage drivers, so some of any gap between fuels is the miles rather than the engine. The per-year figures on the Ford Tourneo Connect page separate age from fuel if you want to isolate one.
